7. The following prompt displays:
Enable NHRP? (n) :
Indicate whether you want to enable NHRP.
8. The following prompt displays:
IP RIP Mode {Deaf (d),
Silent (s),
Active (a),
Inactive (i)}
(s):
Define the RIP mode in which the virtual router port will operate. RIP (Router Information
Protocol) is a network-layer protocol that enables this VLAN to learn and advertise routes.
The RIP mode can be set to one of the following:
Silent . The default setting shown in parentheses. RIP is active and receives routing infor-
mation from other VLAN s, but does not send out RIP updates. Other VLAN s will not receive
routing information concerning this VLAN and will not include the VLAN in their routing
tables. Simply press <Enter> to select Silent mode.
Deaf . RIP is active and sends routing information to other VLAN s, but does not receive RIP
updates from other VLAN s. This VLAN will not receive routing information from other
VLAN s and will not include other VLAN s in its routing table. Enter d and press <Enter> to
select Deaf mode.
Active . RIP is active and both sends and receives RIP updates. This VLAN will receive rout-
ing information from other VLAN s and will be included in the routing tables of other
VLAN s. Enter a and press <Enter> to select Active mode.
Inactive . RIP is inactive and neither sends nor receives RIP updates. This VLAN will neither
send nor receive routing information to/from other VLAN s. Enter i and press <Enter> to
select Inactive mode.
9. After you enter the RIP mode, the following prompt displays:
Default framing type [Ethernet II(e),
fddi (f),
token ring (t),
Ethernet 802.3 SNAP (8),
source route token ring(s)} (e):
Select the default framing type for the frames that will be generated by this router port
and propagated over this
VLAN to the outbound ports. Set the framing type to the encap-
sulation type that is most prevalent in this VLAN . If this VLAN contains devices using
encapsulation types other than those defined here, the MPX module must translate those
frames, which slows throughput. The figure on the next page illustrates the Default Fram-
ing Type and its relation to Virtual Router Port communications.
After you enter the framing type a message displays indicating that this IP router port was
created:
Created router port for vlan 1:3
